The Big Cube

Renowned stage actress Adriana Roman, the muse of playwright Frederick Lansdale, is retiring to marry tycoon Charles Winthrop. The marriage does not sit well with Charles' daughter Lisa, who dislikes her new stepmother if only because she is "the other woman," competition for her father's affections. However, on her father's urging, Lisa tries to get to know Adriana and slowly warms to her. Meanwhile, Lisa attracts the attention of Johnny Allen, a womanizing, fortune-hunting medical student who uses the school lab to produce and sell acid among his hip, mod crowd. He romances naive Lisa, who falls under his spell. After an incident with Charles, Johnny senses an opportunity to abscond with at least some of the Winthrop fortune by using Lisa's mistrust of Adriana, and he manipulates Lisa into trying to make Adriana go crazy, mostly by lacing her sedatives with acid, and Adriana starts to believe that Lisa and Johnny are trying to kill her. In reality, only Johnny is trying to kill Adriana; Lisa is completely unaware. As Adriana tries to explain to others what she's going through, Frederick, who has always loved her himself, eventually believes that all is not that it appears. With new information at hand, Frederick, using the tools of his trade, tries to help Adriana through her troubled mental state.

Amish Stud: The Eli Weaver Story

1 hr 25 mins
While he's out fishing with his Mennonite friend Jeremiah Peters on the morning of 2 June, Amish Eli Weaver receives a message via a call to Jeremiah's cell phone that Eli's wife, 29-year-old Barbara Weaver, has been found shot dead in their bed. While the Amish elders want to deal with the issue solely within their community, the Wayne County Sheriff's Department is forced to investigate in the murder having taken place in their jurisdiction, the two investigators being Detectives Bruce London and Mike Maxwell. What is subsequently shown is the current investigation interspersed with flashbacks of Eli and Barbara's life, which Eli admits to the investigators was not always perfect. Those flashbacks show that prior to their marriage, Barbara wanted to marry for romantic love, which is not the Amish way. Eli seemingly wanted the same; he was the black sheep of his family in not always adhering to Amish strictures. London and Maxwell have their theories of who the murderer is; they suspect Eli, who isn't reacting like a typical grieving husband and father, but they know they'll have problems finding evidence because the Amish Eli will have no digital footprint; and the community's sole telephone is a public one for emergencies, usable by anyone. They hope that the unofficial traditional Amish communication network, rampant gossip, will provide some clues. They find that some talk emerges in the form of a collection of women not in the community who were a part of Eli's secret life as the Amish Stud.
